While these dates have passed, I want to extend a thank you out for posting.

It is a huge aspect of the "Do Your Part" portion of our 5 principles to get to know your local land managers. I have often challenged recreational enthusiasts to be on a first-name basis with their local Federal and State staff who deal with recreation, and obviously that includes Forest Managers. It helps to break down the "uniform barrier" once a dialogue has begun, and I know many USFS and BLM staff who are avid riders themselves, and would love to hear your thoughts, concerns, and input on solutions to problems.

Nice work, and thanks again.
